Nonsimultaneous:
“We discovered that experiences were nonsimultaneous and therefore we had a finite but nonsimultaneous universe. Therefore, being nonsimultaneous it was nonsimultaneously conceptual. It was not a unit picture that could be given to us. We have had a tendency in our general thinking to say that which is finite is that which is statically conceptual as one unit glimpse so we have been seemingly frustrated in trying to understand a universe which was more or less infinite and yet it was an omnidirectional experience and you felt there ought to be an outwardness of this sphere. That is a static concept and we begin to discover that we are not dealing with such a sphere because we have all these nonsimultaneous reports and all we have is interconnectedness of the nonsimultaneity. One of Einstein’s most intellectual discoveries was this nonsimultaneity which he said apparently he could have come upon by virtue of his experience in examining the thoughts and patent claims regarding time-keeping devices, watches and clocks.”
